In the time I’ve spent in executive search, I’ve found that no matter one’s level, industry or career, we all need to find a sense of meaning in what we do.

The purpose of the organisation needs to align with their our own for us to join, stay, and contribute fully.

There are a few things leaders can do to help their team find their inner purpose and what drives them.

Adding just a few healthy habits into your workday can boost your mood, reduce your stress, and significantly increase your productivity. Not only will you feel better for it, but your business may just be better off, too.

Attracting and hiring people is tough for companies right now.

So with the job market as hot as ever, it's critical companies do all they can to retain their people.

Our CEO Lewis Maleh shares his thoughts on what the best companies are doing.

Is 3 months to make a hiring decision too long?

"Why wouldn't someone want to invest hours, days, weeks, months to prove they are worthy to work for us?!?"

Well...the best candidates are being snapped up quickly and businesses are realising they must move fast to secure great people.

If you want to hire the best talent, and you meet someone who you know is great, don't hold back.

What can you do to make faster hiring decisions?

➡️ Be open to updating the hiring process.

➡️ Ensure your hiring team makes time in their diary.

➡️ Hire for skills over experience.

Do YOU KNOW what candidates are saying about YOUR hiring process?

Too long...no feedback...ghosted...all about them...awful experience...

If a friend asks them about their experience, what would you like them say?

Remember you're hiring a person, not a piece of paper.

Here are my thoughts on how to make your interview experience expectational.

Would YOU hire YOURSELF? Here's HOW TO LAND your next job.

This little piece of advice could be the difference between receiving a job offer or not.

It's a super effective way to showcase YOUR career-based SUPERPOWERS.

Many people use this technique to great effect.

This concept that has sold many books.

It will help you get your points across.

It will make people want to listen to you.

People will want to work with you.

It's called STORYTELLING!

Choose your words with purpose and care.

Craft an amazing story.

Compel people to want to be part of the next chapter.

Make yourself valuable by recognizing and communicating your worth!

Doing it the right way will be pay you back 100000x.

It might be the last thing you want to do.

Maybe you were dealt a bad hand.

Whatever the scenario, always leave professionally, with dignity, and your head held high.

The workplace has changed beyond recognition these past few years. Businesses were forced to go remote, some have remained, others have gone hybrid, and some are desperate to return to the office.

What has all this done to workplace culture?

It’s clear remote working comes with many benefits.

Two-thirds of employers have reported an increase in productivity and many employees are enjoying a better work/life balance.

But many might fear the absence of an office could kill company culture, one size doesn't fit all, and many people reported feeling burnout with no separation between work and home.

Whether you are pursuing a side hustle, looking into a different industry, hesitant to quit your job for a new one, or just looking for a change.

It’s not a simple decision.

It requires careful planning and thinking through the why, the what, and the when.

Why do you want to change?

What do you want to do?

When will the change happen?
